Would prefer the Mazda 6. While getting long in the tooth overall, the interior suede on the dash is so elegant and not as spiffy in the 3. Also, cooled seats is only available in the 6 and not the 3.
I have a mazda 6 for 4 years now 80,000 km of mileage no problems currently I drove a new 3 2 weeks and in my opinion each car has pros and cons definitely more fun to drive mazda 3
i have a 2021 Mazda6 Signature. Absolutely love it! Its my daily driver and my road trip car. Just perfect in every way. Btw.. Ive never had a problem with drinks getting in the way of controlling the dials and buttons. Even huge Peace Tea cans are not a problem. Well done Mazda!
Test drove a 3 Premium AWD against a 6 GTR. 3 has the more modern interior but the huge negatives for me were no power passenger seat, no ventilated seats, no heated rear seats and no turbo. And coming from a 2017 3, the new one felt smaller in the interior. Back seats are completely useless and I couldn't fit a car seat in there. Now I'm the very proud owner of a 6GTR. I'm 6'2" 250lbs and can sit behind myself in the back seat. I also have way more shoulder room in the 6. Overall dimensions may be larger, but inside the 3 is way smaller than the 6.
Thanks for sharing. I think Mazda realized they needed to offer a little more luxury on the 3, hence the turbo coming in 2021. You’ll love the GTR 6 though. It’s one of my favorites.
I like the space in the Mazda 6 but the Mazda 3 looks soooooo much better. I don’t really need the space; but I’m coming from a kind of cramped car so some more breathing room would be nice .
I don't like the trend of grills getting bigger and cars looking so aggressive, that's something a mainstream brand like Toyota would do. I'd go for the Mazda 6, that grill is just the prefect size.
I would buy the Mazda 6. Love Mazda products they are ahead their games who would rather have a Mazda instead of BMW. Mazda merged with Toyota think Mazdas are better than Toyota more fun to drive and better looking.
I am very intrigued at what collaborations will come from Toyota and Mazda joint ventures. I hope they’re tons better than the Toyota Yaris Sedan 😬. I do think Mazda is right on the verge of passing Toyota with stylish sedans.
Dennis Triviño I know they’re sharing hybrid tech, as they partnered with Panasonic a couple years ago. Also Toyota’s connected services are being used in CX-30 and Mazda3. Not sure if SkyActiv is being shared. I would think some of the Turbo tech is.
Stuck between the both.. Want the 6 but no awd, old infotainment(the back up camera quality is ass) why?? The 2021 has updated infotainment and cameras. The 6 has no armrest smh. Those cupholders take up all the space and even the cubby is tiny.. If the 3 were to offer the red interior and ventilated seats, I'm sold!
I am wondering what's the difference in suspension department. Do you feel some real difference? Is Mazda 6 is better than 3 in this ? Is it a noticeable ?
The only thumb down with the 6 is that its not 4 motor wheel and about the look, the back of the car is so simple that remind us that car is still a mid-sedan
It's just sad the Mazda 6 looks too much like the Mazda 3. I couldn't tell which one was the 6 at the beginning of the video. My 2009 Mazda 6 stands out a lot more
I don't have a problem with the command knob if water bottles are there but maybe with huge cups. I believe once or twice I did but maybe I didn't have to skip to the next song.
While I would agree that the 3 has a better styling and the extra space may not be worth the price upgrade from 3 to the 6, early this year I bought a 6 Sport trim (GS here in Cda) 2019 MY on clearance. Was set on buying the 3 but coz of the $7K off MSRP deal I got on the 6, it actually came out cheaper than a base 3! Talk abt value it just made better sense to buy the 6 due to the space, the elegant and mature design despite originally designed in 2014, and the ind rears vs the 3’s torsion beams w/c I didn’t really like. If I didn’t get that $7K deal I would’ve been happy with the 3 but hey if the 6 was on bargain why not?!
im looking at the previous generation of these two cars like 2015 mazda3 or mazda6. how to decide between the two which one should i get? which is the most fun to drive etc
As a student, who frequently takes parents/siblings/grandparents out for work or groceries, which do you prefer? I was looking into the civic but Mazda's really look nice!
Thanks for your review. It would be easier for us to watch your video if you use different colours for the cars that your are comparing. I know you love red.
BlazeReviews not yet. I think every 2021 was slowed down because of plant shutdowns. May be October or November this year. Or if a lot of updates, could be January or February.
I was wondering although the Mazda 3 was the middle trim. why does it have an 18" rims ? are you able to upgrade your Rims if you get the middle trim of mazda3 that has 16" Rims? Thanks Jonathan
The base trim has 16” wheels. The other three models have 18” wheels. You can always add accessories, but 18” is included on Select, Preferred, and Premium.
Not only do they put the tacky outdated pin stripes on every car, even though the CUSTOMER didnt order it, they also put the tacky dealer name on the back, then for overkilll, its on the plate frame as well Honestly, when does the money grab stop?

Great range of vehicles, Mazda really killing it lately
They are pedal to the metal with great ideas and vehicles.
The sales number doesn't agree.
Both beauties, but the 3 looks more sleek and aggressive. That front end on the 3
is🔥🔥!
✌🏻✌🏻
mazda 6. I bought the 2018 and I haven't regretted my decision at ALL
They are really nice! What model did you get? Touring?
Jonathan Sewell signature
This is a great comparison video, exactly what I was looking for!
Great! Thanks for watching.
Both are stunning but the 3 looks more modern ,the Soul Red Crystal suit them both perfectly
Yes, I can’t wait for a Mazda6 update.
Would prefer the Mazda 6. While getting long in the tooth overall, the interior suede on the dash is so elegant and not as spiffy in the 3. Also, cooled seats is only available in the 6 and not the 3.
Yes, I love those features also.
I have the 2020 6 and will keep it forever. Handsome, excellent fit and fun to drive.
Pin stripes and dealer branding on the back would be a deal-breaker for me. I would buy from somewhere else.
I understand. Everything is vinyl and can be removed quick and easy before the customer takes delivery.
I would leave it on, provided I received a monthly income for the advertising...
Absolute good reason. No defaced cars wanted.
@@JSS - Shouldn't bother to put it on in the first place. They don't even match the lines of the car.
those pin stripes are distractingly ugly!!!
Both are beautiful, thanks!
Your Welcome. Thanks for watching!
Mazda is one of the best car company out there amazing quality and reliable product made in Japan 🇯🇵
I agree!
Great Review Love Mazda’s very much!
Thank you very much! I love them also!
I just bought the 2020 mazda 6 3 weeks ago and I love it
Brandon Connor Awesome, congrats! Enjoy your new ride!
Brandon Connor I have the 2018 and i love it! Best decision I’ve ever made.
@@TheBasser760 Nice!!!
What trim? and price? If you don't mind. I am in the market for the gt trim..
Dennis Triviño I have the touring trim and it was 26k maybe it’s the same price for the 2020. The gt is 31k
I just bought the mazda 3 cant wait to get it home. Little nervous about the back seat space
It’s a great vehicle!
I never understood why people concerned about rear seat space buy a compact
@@michaelracicot233 Because sometimes I drive with people it would be nice they could fit in
How do you feel now about the room?
I have a mazda 6 for 4 years now 80,000 km of mileage no problems currently I drove a new 3 2 weeks and in my opinion each car has pros and cons definitely more fun to drive mazda 3
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
@@JSS thanks, I wish you good health
i have a 2021 Mazda6 Signature. Absolutely love it! Its my daily driver and my road trip car. Just perfect in every way. Btw.. Ive never had a problem with drinks getting in the way of controlling the dials and buttons. Even huge Peace Tea cans are not a problem. Well done Mazda!
I don't think he means it as a problem per say. Just that you had to reach around your cups to use the console commands.

Both are pretty both outside and inside. I just wish mazda make the car feels a little bit heavier, especially the 6.
I think the 2022 will be that car. Expecting a rear wheel drive platform and 6cylinder engine.
@@JSS Still waiting
Mazda 6
I like the space in the Mazda 6 but the Mazda 3 looks soooooo much better. I don’t really need the space; but I’m coming from a kind of cramped car so some more breathing room would be nice .
Space is good.
Mazda 6 size, mazda 3 new interior with sky active X 👌
I would love to drive an X engine. I bet it’s awesome
Their exterior looks so similar. My question is whether or not there is any noticeable difference in driver visibility.
I can’t think of any. I look more closely after the holiday.
Mazda 6 is bigger so probably different visibility at the back.
i want something similar to the Toyota Camry. I think the mazda6 is close enough
It is close, and a little bit more premium.
I don't like the trend of grills getting bigger and cars looking so aggressive, that's something a mainstream brand like Toyota would do. I'd go for the Mazda 6, that grill is just the prefect size.
Small grilles are boring

I’m planning to get a Mazda 6 in a few weeks time. Is this still a good purchase or wait for the 2021?
Yes, there are rebates on the 2020 now, and not any changes in 2021.
Mazda 3 will be getting a turbo
The 2021 Mazda 6 is supposed to be rear wheel drive and an inline 6 cylinder. As a joint venture with Toyota it will be equal to a Lexus.
Stuck between the both.. Want the 6 but no awd, old infotainment(the back up camera quality is ass) why?? The 2021 has updated infotainment and cameras. The 6 has no armrest smh.

I have the new three. Should've bought the 6
Need a little more room?
Why?
@@snicketysnicketsAmericans like bigger cars is the reason why lol
How is NVH levels compared? Ability to absorb road imperfections and interior noise assuming they have similar rims/tires?
NVH is similar. The M3 has 18”, the M6 has 19”. A little different feel, but not much difference in road noise.
Mazda 3 better good-looking than mazda6. So weird
Yes it is. I can’t wait for the new Mazda6...2022, I think.
Really? I thought the mazda6 looked better lol but I can see why you like the mazda3 more it’s a matter of preference😁
TheTpanative its true. So weird
My opinion is the opposite of yours, that's why I bought the 6.
mazda 3 changed ofor the 2019 model, but mazda 6 has been the same since 2016
Love the Mazda 6 and also the Mazda 3. We bought the 2020 Mazda 3 hatchback in the same color. The pinstriping mars the otherwise clean body.
Your vehicle is so beautiful! I love the Soul Red Crystal!
@@JSS How much do you charge for the pin stripe that nobody wants?
I am wondering what's the difference in suspension department.
Do you feel some real difference? Is Mazda 6 is better than 3 in this ?
Is it a noticeable ?
Great question. It is not really noticeable to me other than the Mazda6 feels a little bit longer or smoother.
I prefer the 6 I have be touring model 2018 😊
Best channel for mazda fans.
Thank you!
The only thumb down with the 6 is that its not 4 motor wheel and about the look, the back of the car is so simple that remind us that car is still a mid-sedan
If the 6 had awd or rwd this would be an easy decision.
Yes…it will have in a couple years.
It's just sad the Mazda 6 looks too much like the Mazda 3. I couldn't tell which one was the 6 at the beginning of the video. My 2009 Mazda 6 stands out a lot more
agreed
Nah u got it twisted the 3 looks like the 6
I prefer the Mazda 3. Same engine, less weight = quicker!
Plus AWD!
@@ivan72087 I didn't take the AWD. Makes the car slower and not as efficient.
Super comparison. Well done. Is horsepower same in both cars?
The engines are the same, but they rate horsepower at 187 for M6 and 186 for M3, virtually the same.
I don't have a problem with the command knob if water bottles are there but maybe with huge cups. I believe once or twice I did but maybe I didn't have to skip to the next song.
Yes, water bottles aren’t that bad.

They’re both beautiful sedans! I have the 2019 Mazda 3....what’s the difference in width between the two.?
probably nothing, most shit doesn’t change between years lol
aalexttostado well I’m talking about difference in the width between 3 and 6....not the year.
The Mazda6 is about 2 inches wider than the Mazda3. The wheel tracks are less than an inch different. Thanks for watching.
im looking at the previous generation of these two cars like 2015 mazda3 or mazda6. how to decide between the two which one should i get? which is the most fun to drive etc
I would choose the Mazda6 because it has the 2.5 L in those years. The Mazda3 sedan has the 2.0 L
Why would the dealer install pin stripes? It’s not 1970. Tacky. But good review.
Pinstripes are ugly and out of place on these cars. I'm sure dealer installed in an effort to up-charge for the option.
...I STILL CAN'T DECIDE! XD
It’s a tough one. Mazda6 has a little more space, and Mazda3 has a little more style.
The Mazda 6 is made in Japan. The Mazda 3 is made in Mexico. That says it all about the quality. I'd pick the 6 hands down.
I see your logic.
I got new Mazda 3 Sedan in Sydney really really really Love it !
Awesome!
What's the difference between the 2?
@@tashagotit7747 I prefer new Mazda3 inside design than Mazda6 , however Mazda3 only have 2.5L in Sydney but Mazda6 get 2.5Turbo
Make a Mazda 3 Hatchback vs Mazda CX 30 please 🙏🏽
See if this one works m.czcams.com/video/BPa5icuWfSw/video.html
As a student, who frequently takes parents/siblings/grandparents out for work or groceries, which do you prefer? I was looking into the civic but Mazda's really look nice!
Yes they look nice, and are worth considering. The Mazda6 does give you a little more room, but both are great choices.
Go with the Mazda3 it’s more modern and updated interior. There’s not much difference in backseat room unless you have 6ft family members.
Plus better MPG with the 3 :). Hope this helps
No way, me too bro, I was also into the civic still into it but the mazda is so much good looking and not everyone is driving it
Good comparison
Thanks for your review. It would be easier for us to watch your video if you use different colours for the cars that your are comparing. I know you love red.
I’ve debated that before 😄. I also think those where the only colors in those models at the time.
It’s good to keep them same color, it takes away the color bias.
nice video
Thank you!
Is there a noticeable difference between driving in the city and parking ? 6 is long about only 25cm in total
Güzel araba. Henüz Türkiye'ye gelmedi. Bekliyoruz...
I just did a review in cx-30 I’m hoping to get the 6 in 2021 edition but hope it comes out soon and heard that it’s infotainment will be updated
Awesome, I’ll check it out. I can’t wait for the 2021 Mazda6. It’s gonna be awesome!
Jonathan Sewell you have any idea when it will?
BlazeReviews not yet. I think every 2021 was slowed down because of plant shutdowns. May be October or November this year. Or if a lot of updates, could be January or February.
Please bring the Skyactiv X to the Mazda 3 in 2021.
I don’t know about SkyActiv X, but the 2.5 Turbo is coming in 2021. I’ll have a video later this week.

@@JSS Gotcha, I live in Canada so we only have 3 trims, unfortunately, we have to get the GT model to have an 18". Thanks for your response
Mark Perez oh sorry. I’m not as familiar with the Canadian models. Except you guys get heated side mirrors. An option we don’t have.
Is there a way to get the 0% apr and 0 down payment?
Who added the stupid pinstripes?
They took the focus design.
I prefer 6
It’s nice. I love the 6 seats
For unknown reasons all tremendous concept cars that got everybody excited eventually became uninspiring design when it roll off the production line.
That is usually the case, but sometimes it’s pretty close.
Where is Enterprise???
Southeast Alabama. About 1 1/2 hours from Montgomery, Alabama and Panama City, Florida
Michael Scott would have had 6 “that’s what she said.”
the mazda 3 almost looks angrier looks more aggressive which i kind of like.
It’s looks like a wider stance to me, where as Mazda6 is longer and slimmer. Mazda3 wins!
They look alike
Yes, they share a lot of style characteristics.
I see three mazda in this video
Smaller grill of the Mazda 6 makes it look much better. (the Mazda 3 is ugly)
Some of the larger grills don’t look as good.
Moving cup holders to the front is old and not useful
Everyone has unique preferences. Thanks for watching.

We installed those here. It’s a vinyl stripe that is easily removable. Do you like any vinyl or graphics on a vehicle?
@@JSS I'm more about a nice clean look that shows the cars nice lines.
Those vinyl strips kills me 🤢
They look way too similar. Not a fan 🙄
I thought that was taboo for car manufacturers...
Most manufacturers try to use similar designs so the brand will be recognized.
Mazda is a driver's car
fk pesenger and anyone who wants to sit back can buy a Hyundai(gay car) :D
